[The walk back to their room is both brisk and eternal in feeling. The tap of A2's heels echo throughout the hallways, booming to Aqua's ears, and Aqua isn't sure how she'll explain if anyone sees them. Somehow, no one is around.
She has half a mind to offer to walk once she recognizes the path to the crew quarters anyway, but A2 hasn't made any move to put her down, carrying her over the threshold into their quarters. This is a genuine fucking bridal carry.
And like, Aqua hasn't been put in bed since she was very little. This is weird? Embarrassing. She refuses to lay down, either, sitting and facing A2 and feeling just as awkward? It's bad.]
Yeah...I'm okay.
[She told you!!! She's fine!!! Her face still betrays a stubborn flush of pink though. People aren't allowed to worry about her...it's awful.]
[A2 eyes her warily for a moment, like she really doesn't believe that Aqua is actually okay. Which, for the record, she doesn't? She was just asleep for a month! Shouldn't she be hungry or something? At the very least extremely wobbly.]
Yeah, well... I'm not all that convinced. While you were out a bunch of people started getting really sick.
[Cryostasis is weird like that. Aqua is mostly weighed down by that feeling of being tired from sleeping, which is one of the worst nap outcomes ever but otherwise bearable.
She returns A2's gaze with a thoughtful twist of her lips, which turns to a look of surprise.]
They have...? What kind of sickness is it?
[Darkness?
That takes some of the color out of her cheeks. Can't be gay if there's work to do!]
ITS NOT DARKNESS U STUPID PIECE OF TRASH KINGDOM HEARTS CHARACTER
[Oh no, A2 knows that look. That's the look Anemone used to get when she thought something needed to be done.]
Like, sneezing and sniffling? [And some were rotting from the inside out and others had copper or whateve inside their skin but A2 blatantly isn't saying that.]

WHEN IS IT NOT DARKNESS IN KINGDOM HEARTS THOUGH
But you said they were very sick.
[Having a cold can be a range from okay to awful, but they're hardly lethal with proper rest!
A2 is just making herself look more melodramatic.]
Humans are a lot hardier than you think, A2.
[Meaning A2 will not put her on bed-rest over the mere threat of the sniffles!]
when its light and your name is eraqus and you try and murder your adopted son
A lot of them seemed to be downright miserable though. It's probably for the best you missed it.
